Asp.net – Hyperlink inside of a Label

I’m trying to add a hyperlink inside of a label in an Intranet application. This application is only visible inside of our company, and I want to be able to allow the user to click on part of the page title to return to the root page. I tried this and it doesn’t work:

<td align="center" colspan="2">
   <asp:Label ID="Label1" runat="server" Text="<a href=""/.."">Client Operations Daily Production Log</a> - Coaching Admin" Font-Size="XX-Large"></asp:Label>
   <asp:Label ID="Label_Environment" runat="server" Font-Size="X-Large" Font-Bold="true" ForeColor="Red" Style="text-shadow:-1px 0 white, 0 1px white, 1px 0 white, 0 -1px white; padding-left:20px"></asp:Label>
</td>

    I think the issue might be caused by the fact that you’d need to escape HTML-related markup inside the Text property of the asp:Label.

    I would try to place the contents of that particular field inside the asp:Label like below:

    <td align="center" colspan="2">
   <asp:Label ID="Label1" runat="server" Font-Size="XX-Large">
      <a href=""/.."">Client Operations Daily Production Log</a> - Coaching Admin
   </asp:Label>
   <asp:Label ID="Label_Environment" runat="server" Font-Size="X-Large" Font-Bold="true" ForeColor="Red" Style="text-shadow:-1px 0 white, 0 1px white, 1px 0 white, 0 -1px white; padding-left:20px"></asp:Label>
</td>

    You can use code behind, and set the text of the label to this:

            string sRootURL = ResolveClientUrl("~/");

        string sAREF = $@"<a href='{sRootURL}'>Jump to Root</a>";

        Label1.Text = sAREF;

    Note how when I hover over the label, the browser will show the target URL.

    enter image description here

    So, you can in most cases set the text of a label control to markup, and it will render that markup correctly, and this includes setting the text to a standard HTML hyperlink. In fact, you can even assign the label some JavaScript and it will run.
